Property In Gated Community With A Private Lake

PRICE REDUCED! This 40 acre property is located west of Laramie in Albany County, Wyoming, within the private gated community known as the Wild Horse Ranch. The setting combines open grassland terrain with access features that support residential, recreational, and long term land use. Entry to the ranch is controlled by electronic security gates, providing a managed point of access for property owners and their guests. Power is available on the property, giving buyers a substantial utility advantage when planning future development such as a residence, cabin, shop, or seasonal structure.

The land sits on a broad, flat grassy bench that creates an open landscape with long range western views. From the property, you can see the Medicine Bow Routt National Forest and surrounding mountain ranges. The topography is level enough that future construction or land improvement should require relatively minimal grading compared to more rugged areas. The flatness also allows for easy travel across the property for land management, recreation, or scouting.

Within the boundaries of Wild Horse Ranch is Lake Hattie, a well known water feature in the region. Property owners have access to the lake for fishing and non motorized boating. The lake includes a usable boat ramp within the community. These features add opportunities for on site recreation without the need to travel off the ranch. In addition to lake access, Wild Horse Ranch maintains common areas for picnics, informal gatherings, or community events. These spaces provide optional opportunities for social interaction while preserving the privacy of individually owned parcels.

The community operates under covenants and an established homeowners association. These covenants guide building standards, land use parameters, and general upkeep to maintain consistency across the ranch. The HOA fee is 701 dollars annually. While this fee supports road maintenance, gate systems, and community areas, the covenants help ensure that the appearance and quality of the ranch environment are preserved over time. Buyers should review all governing documents to confirm that allowable uses align with their long term plans.

Because the property already has power available and is located within an organized community, development considerations such as planning for utilities, siting structures, or establishing year round or seasonal living arrangements may be simplified compared to raw off grid tracts without infrastructure. Other utilities such as well and septic would be pursued through standard Albany County permitting processes. The grassy terrain allows for flexible placement of improvements across the acreage.

The surrounding region is known for outdoor recreation, including fishing, hiking, hunting, and general access to the Medicine Bow Routt National Forest. While the property itself lies within a private community, the broader landscape supports an active outdoor lifestyle. Wildlife may be present in the area, and the open nature of the terrain allows for broad visibility across the land.

Location is a significant advantage of this parcel. The property is approximately 18 miles from the Laramie Regional Airport, making it accessible for owners who travel. It is also about 24 miles from downtown Laramie, where residents can find groceries, fuel, hardware, restaurants, medical services, the University of Wyoming, and other amenities. This proximity provides a balance between privacy inside a gated ranch community and convenient access to necessary services.

The combination of gated entry, on site power, covenants, community lake access, and open land creates a property option suited for buyers who want acreage with managed access and recreational potential. The flat grassy terrain supports multiple land use strategies ranging from residential development to light recreation, extended stays, or long term land holding. Whether used as a home site, a weekend retreat, or a base for regional outdoor activities, the property provides a structured environment with community features and nearby conveniences.

Overall, this 40 acre parcel offers a factual blend of accessible infrastructure, mountain views, recreational amenities within the community, and proximity to Laramie. The property provides an opportunity for buyers seeking acreage in Albany County within a private ranch setting where covenants and an active HOA help guide the long term stewardship of the area.
